Eisner Slams Disney for Suspending Kimmel’s Show Over Trump
Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner has publicly criticized the company’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s show on ABC, owned by Disney. Eisner, who served as CEO from 1984 to 2005, expressed his disapproval of the indefinite suspension, linking it to the FCC Chairman’s threats against ABC. The decision followed Kimmel’s comments about the Charlie Kirk assassination, which sparked controversy. Eisner’s remarks and those of other prominent figures, including celebrities and former late-night hosts, come in the wake of FCC threats and raise concerns about free speech and corporate interests within the media landscape.
